Counterweights

Using accessories such as cameras, Lens Shades, Tele-Extenders and the 2" Diagonal will affect the balance of your Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Counterweights restore proper balance, increasing ease in handling and improved tracking accuracy.

You don’t need perfect balance to operate your telescope. In fact, it’s not always possible to achieve perfect balance with fixed-position weights. All you need to do is reduce, or eliminate, swing when R.A. and DEC locks are released. Celestron counterweights help you achieve the desired balance and stability with ease.

Counterweight Bar Assemblies

The Counterweight Bar Assembly is a metal rod that runs the length of the telescope tube. It attaches to both the front and

rear cells. Once the Bar Assembly is in place, counterweights can be attached to it and moved along its length, as well as perpendicular to it, for better dynamic balancing. Each Counterweight Bar Assembly comes with mounting hardware and one 2.5 lb. weight.

Lens Shades/Dew Caps

A Lens Shade/Dew Cap is a tube, of approximately the same diameter as your telescope tube, designed to fit on the front end of the telescope to reduce the amount of dew that builds up on the corrector plate. It

also serves as a Len Shade by preventing stray light #94017 from falling on the corrector plate, which greatly

improves contrast.

The C8 Lens Shades are made of rugged plastic, and
have a tapered design (other designs made with
different materials cause vignetting). They snap easily
onto the front cell of all of Celestron’s C8 telescopes.
